Stupid or Genius? 3 Archon list, not the kind you'd expect

OK, I don’t know that it’s that good, but I appreciate the jank. If you’re going for a full Jank attack though, I think you really need to fit in Victor for the POW 14 fire bombs. Seems like it could be a thing... The following taps out at 74 points. I couldn’t find one more point to upgrade the Marauder to a Juggernaut. I lost the second Void Archon which just seems over the top. I suppose you could lose the Marauder, put the Void Archon back in, and have 4 points left over for...hmmm...probably paying for another solo to fit in a second free unit of Ternion. Hmmm... That’s not bad if you’re OK playing OW2 with only one Warjack.

Don't forget about the guys running around with cursed sword left by the soul powered abusive precursor. Yeah I know the theme makes no sense fluffwise, that's part of the janky charm of it.

Part of the appeal of the list is also the casterkill aspect of it, the void archons are not bad at getting a could of attacks on a caster with void walk and their boosting. OW2 casterkill game is always made live thanks to scourge.

Not sure the victor is all that necessary to leverage the menite archon, but it does make the fire shot even more interesting. Side note on the Victor, do you guys think we'll finally get reliable mileage out of Flak fire now that archons look like they'll be everywhere?

Fair point, I'm not going to take a victor specifically for flak fire, it's just a casually nice bonus, more against the thamarchon and the void archon than the two super tanky one indeed.

Plus 1.  Getting to be able to fire and then zepher/Repo 5 SHOULD mean that they are able to really be irritating and not ignorable.   There issue remains that they really want to be on the flank and ambushing is becoming more and mroe common.  Can't afford to let them get tied down that way.

How about swapping croes for alexia1? According to warroom she isn’t actually thamarite typed, and risen synergize nicely with doom reavers

cplmustard for the win.  That’s some excellent jank and hilarious thematically.  I suppose in the battle for the hereafter, the dead are rising up against the Infernals, so...

I played the list this weekend, against constance Flame in the dark, a double precursor build with galant on Jakes for extra threat range, a morrowan archon that my opponent got from a gencon ninja and a couple of extra solo like ragman, the hermit and acosta.

It performed really well, the Void archons are very good into melee centric army like the one I played against, soul ward denied me a couple of souls on the void archons, so I can see souls reliant armies like infernal be annoyed at playing against archon build.

Croes killed a couple of precursor but a lot of them died because I wasn't careful and clumped them up after giving on Constance a load of souls and allowing her to cast more sunburst than I expected. They still did the job of providing souls for my void archon and triggering a swift vengeance and righeous fury on my menite archon.

Highlight of the game was a void archon killing a couple of precursor and setting up dark shroud on a nomad and the galant, followed by a destroyer shooting on Harlan versh, having the shot shield guarded by the armor debuffed galant (dark shroud is the only way for the list to debuff his armor because of sacred ward) doing some good damage, and the having the angry menite archon just finishing off the Galant, with righteous fury and dark shroud on top of his self S&P the archon hit very hard, killed the galant with that, and if my calculations are correct I rolled a bit higher than average, but not that much, I wasn't suppose to kill him but was still suppose to do a lot of damage. What was hilarious was my opponent one shotting my menite archon with his morrowan archon helped by death field from ragman, I was expecting the menite archon to die but to take some effort to kill, but when your opponent rolls a 17 on his charge attack there's not much you can do about it, my opponent stopped complaining about me killing his galant after that attack.

Constance played agressively, killing the grolar by herself thanks to flank and death field making her hit nearly as hard as butcher, but it left her too forward, so I scourge her, curse of shadowed her and killed her with the void archon that blinked forward after killing a precursor knight, the threat range on the void archon spray is huge when he can charge and teleport. I still had two reaver charge, a destroyer shot and a brittle frost I could get into a knocked down constance. My opponent though he was safe because he was hiding behind a lancer and some precursor hiding LOS to constance, he didn't take into consideration the scourge angles of a charging old witch into consideration.

Will try the list again, the list might be better with Alexia2, but so far I like the hitting power on the menite archon and having dispel in the list is interesting, alexia2 doesn't help that much with high def, the menite archon is pretty good to help with that.
